STOVE.

Application led March 31, 1928. Serial No. 266,349.

This invention relates to stoves and it is an object of the invention toprovide a device of this kind wherein is provided a structure to permitthe use of doors disappearing when in open position so that the same maybe entircly out of the way.

The invention consists in the details of construction and in thecombination and arlangeinent of the several parts of my improved stovewhereby certain important advantages are attained and the devicerendered simpler, less expensive and otherwise more convenient andadvantageous for use, as will he hereinafter more fully set forth.

The novel features of my inventionwill hereinafter be definitelyclaimed.

In order that my invention may be the better understood7 I will nowproceed to describe the saine with reference to the accompanyingiilrawing, wherein Figure 1 is a horizontal vertical sectional viewillustrating a stove constructed in accordance with an embodiment of myinven tion, a second position of one the doors being diagrannnaticallyindicated by broken lines;

Figure 2 is a fragmentary horizontal sectional view illustrating anotherenibodiment of my invention; j

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view through one of the door housingsshown in Figure l; l

Figure 4t is a fragmentary view in elevation of one of the doors.

As disclosed in Figure l of the drawing, the stove at each side of theash pit is provided with a double wall structure or housing S' providedin the opposed faces of its top and bottom walls l "with thelongitudinally disposed grooves or channels 2. The forwaii'd end of thestructure or housing S is open and the inner wall 3 of said structure orhousing at the open end thereof terminates a slight distance inwardly ofthe adj acent end of the outer wall 4. l

The structin'e or housing S is adapted to receive a door D for the ashpit or the like, said door at its rear end being provided with theupwardly and downwardly disposed rounded lugs 5 engaged within thegrooves or channels 2. When the door D is in its fully extendedposition, as indicated by broken lines in Figure 1, the lugs 5 providepivot members to permit the door to be swung into fully closed positionand by having the inner Wall 3 at the outer end of the housing orstructure S terminating inwardly of the adjacent end of the outer walld, said inner wall 3 offers no hindrance or obstruction to the door whenswung closed.

ln the embodiment ofthe invention as particularly illustrated in Figurel, cach of the doors D cannot be moved into or caused to disappearwithin its associated structure or housing S until after the door hasbeen swung outwardly on an arc of substantially ninety degrees.

In the .embodiment of the invention as illustrated in Figure 2, anarrangement is disclosed especially designed for use in connection withcircular heaters and arranged at each side of the door opening A is anarcuate structure or housing S and which is adapted to readily receivean arcuate door D when moved or slid into open position.

From the foregoing description it is thought to be obvious that a stoveconstructed in accordance with my invention is particularly well adaptedfor use by reason of the convenience and facility with which it may beassembled and operated, and it will also be obvious that my invention issusceptible of some change and modification without departing from theprinciples and spirit thereof and for this reason I do not wish to beunderstood as limiting myself to the precise arrangementand formation ofthe several parts herein shown in `carrying out my invention' inpractice except as hereinafter claimed.

l. In a stove having a door opening, a relatively flat casing arrangedat each side of the stove and having an open edge arranged adjacent oneside of the door opening, a door member designed to he snugly slidablyreceived in cach casing and when drawn therefrom to overlie a portion ofsaid opening, each of said casings having the inner face of the top andbottom walls thereof provided with a longitudinally extending groove,and pin members projecting from the top and bottom edges ol the doorsdesigned `to he slidably received in the grooves.

2. In a stove structure having a door opening, a relatively fiat casingarranged at each side of the stove and having one vertical side edgeopen and positioned adjacent the side of the door opening, each of saidcasings further having its inner side wall terminated inwardly of theopen edge to direct the open edge laterally toward the door opening,door members each designed to be slidably, snugly received in a easingand when in closed position having one edge extending through thelateral portion of a easing opening to the interior thereof, and pinmembers projecting from the top and bottom edges of each door memberslidably engaged in guide grooves formed in the inner feces of the topand bottom Walls of the door receiving ensing.

In testimony whereof I hereunto alix my signature.
